The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans used many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab countries, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an increase in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
